Venkatesh Maha was seen mocking the "KGF" franchise for having unrealistic scenes during a YouTube interview.
While other directors such as Nandini Reddy, Vivek Athreya, and Indraganti Mohana Krishna laughed along, Venkatesh continued to criticize Prashanth Neel's direction and story.
However, people on social media were quick to criticize Venkatesh Maha, pointing out that he is making lofty claims while struggling to make a new film.
She wrote on Twitter, "Every commercial film which has become a success is bec the audience hs loved something in tht effort . The conversation was nvr meant 2deride anyones work but rathr hv a positive debate on what cn diversify the narrative of "commercial cinema". Apologies fr any offence caused."
